Government Contract Regulatory Compliance

Navigating the complex Government contracting landscape

Today's government procurement environment is layered with stringent regulations, an increasingly skeptical legislative and procurement mindset, and a more restrictive interpretation of compliance requirements. Contractors—both small and large—must fully understand contract terms, implement robust internal controls, and proactively maintain compliance to mitigate risks associated with Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) and other regulatory audits. A strong posture of self-governance from contract award to close-out is essential for success.

At Golden Bear Consulting, we specialize in helping government contractors navigate these complexities. Our team of experts is dedicated to ensuring your business remains compliant, competitive, and prepared for regulatory scrutiny. With years of experience in government contract compliance and audit defense, we provide tailored solutions that safeguard your credibility and maximize cost recovery.

Our expertise

Golden Bear Consulting is equipped to guide your organization in developing and implementing the necessary firewalls to protect against DCAA compliance risks. Our professionals have spent their careers mastering the government contracting climate, understanding the nuances of DCAA audit oversight, and developing advanced technical skills to prevent and, if necessary, challenge audit findings. We leverage in-depth knowledge of government regulations and auditor techniques to provide strategic compliance solutions.

Our team includes former DCAA auditors who conducted audits of Department of Defense (DOD) contractors for decades. This firsthand experience enables us to offer insider-level insight and expert consulting services to help your company successfully navigate the entire audit and remediation process.
